Because then his followers couldnt deny at the same time any responsibility for others beating (up) their wifes while making sure there is enough leeway for those to do it in the first place.
Its all about plausible deniability.
Hey Atlas: If actually no muslim is suposed to actually beat his wife, ever, why not drop the paragraph about theoretically being allowed to do so?
After all last week we just had a referendum in the state i live. Its constitution still had the death penalty, although there is none in the constitution of my country. So theoretically my state could sentence someone to death, but actually it wont happen, because its against Germanys constitution and any death sentence would be revoked by german supreme court. After nearly 70y we finally figured that the paragraph in the state constitution was useless and so it was abandoned.
Do you think that would be possible in the Quran too, after .......1500y, dropping a useless paragraph about theoretically being allowed to beat (up) your wife?
Insane rationalisation coming in
